If your thermostat is designed to switch the fan on and off at say 120 volts, then it acts just like a switch. This means that you insert the two wires from the thermostat in series with the black wire going to the fan. So let's say you have a supply of power for fan that has black, white and bare wire ground. You connect the white to white on fan and ground to ground. You then connect one wire of the thermostat switch to supply black and one to fan black wire. If you are unsure of the type of thermostat or anything else get an electrician. This is just one possible solution given the information provided.

Do you need 3-wire romex to feed bedroom ceiling box by electrical code?
No, you can feed it with a 2 wire Romex + ground. It depends on what is mounted on the ceiling. If it is just a light all you need is 2 wire + ground Romex. However if it is a fan/light and you want to control each one independant of the other you will need to use 3 wire Romex + ground. This is of course if you have 2 seperate switches. You would then connect the red wire to the blue light wire and the black wire to the black fan wire. If you use 2 wire Romex just connect the blue and black fan/light wire to the black wire in the ceiling box.
How do you fix an electric baseboard heater?
first of all you buy a double pole unit thermostat which should come with the mounting plate and thermostat and it should have 4 wires 2 red 2 black okay now you join the red to the red power wire and black to the black power wire and the 2 remaining wires which should be a red and black can be joined to the red and black wires on your heater .....now you should be good to go ............LEE48
Im adding a new ceiling fan in my living room i pulled the old fixture down i noticed 2 sets of 3 wire BWR and 1 set 2 wire BW BW going to the wall switch how should you wire in the fan?
White is for neutral on the fan, black is power for the motor, and red is power for the light. If the power from the switch only has two wires (black and white), you would hook up white to white and hook black and red from the fan to the black wire from the wall switch. This means that you'll be powering the fan and light on the same switch and to change the fan and light separately you will have to pull on the chains or use a remote control.
Is it all right to cover electric wires with insulation in attic?
Yes as long as they are in a romex style wire. Like 12-2 for example. Which is individual wires incased in an outer jacket. You should never have just single wires running in the attic unprotected or anywhere for that matter. Individual wires must be in a conduit. And any splices should be in a box.
What is the difference between 12-2 and 14-2 wiring?
The '12' and '14' refers to the gauge of the wire. A 14 gauge wire is used for circuits drawing 15 amps or less; general lighting and outlets. A 12 gauge wire is used for 20 amp circuits, like dishwashers, disposals, and microwaves. The '-2' refers to the number of conductors in the wire. 14-2 is a 14 gauge wire with 2 conductors in the sheath. A 14-3 with ground would have three conductors plus a ground in the sheath, for a total of four wires, and is most often used for ceiling fan wiring and three way switches.
What turns on the cooling fan 1993 3.0 v6 Dodge Shadow?
The computer reads the temperature from the 2 wire sensor next to the thermostat. It then actuates a relay on the inner fender and turns on the fan. [edit] most 3.0 V6 only have a 1 wire sensor.
Can you connect a 3 wire fan into a 2 wire supply?
yes....the third wired can be connected to a metal housing of the 2 wire supply as a ground
Where does the red wire in a baseboard heater connect to the black or white wire in the wall?
In the heater you will have two wires. You should then have 2 supply wires from the panel, and 2 wires from the thermostat. The neutral (white) supply wire should go to one of the wires on the heater. The hot (black) supply wire should connect to one wire from the thermostat. The other wire from the thermostat will connect to the other wire from the heater.
How do you change a 3 wire cealing fan circuit to a 2 wire light circuit?
Sure; the fan has 3 wires so you can wire the light and fan separately, but if you don't have that option, you don't NEED to put the fan and the light on separate switches. You can always turn the light or fan on/off using the pull strings.

The electric fan for the radiator does not kick in when the temp goes up at idle How do you find the coolant temp sensor for the fan of a Chevrolet Celebrity 1984?
First, un plug the wire at the fan, jump the wire and see if the fan does work. If it does, trace the wire back to the sensor, there are only 2 sensors, 1 for temp gauge, and 1 for the fan.
How do you install a Hunter thermostat for a 2 wire - to Y and R terminals?

Where is the thermostat located on a 96 continental?
Thermostat Is Located Directly Behind The Radiator And Fan Shroud.. There Are 3 Hoses Going Into The Housing For The Thermostat Which Should Be Taken Off Before Exposing The Thermostat To Make Changing It Easier.. There Are Also 4 Bolts.. 2 10mm And 2 8mm..
How do you wire a double pole thermostat to two baseboard heaters?
This is wiring 2 baseboard heaters with a double pole wall thermostat you run the power wire to the thermostat on the wall then you run a wire to the 1st heater and then you run another wire from the 1st heater to the 2nd heater and hook red on red and black on black with wiring mariette's in the heaters junction box on left or right side which ever is more suitable for you and then you go to the wall thermostat and hook red on red and black on black with the wiring mariette's and then you hook your power wire to the power supply which is 100 or 200 amp service and on a double 20 breaker and the wire has to be no smaller than 12/2 wire. also do not forget to hook the ground wire (bare copper) on the green screw on your heater and in the thermostat box and then on the power supply box..... now you can turn up your thermostat and enjoy the heat ...........LEE48
Where is the electric fan switch on the 1995 Chev 454 engine located and how do you test it?
This answer should apply. You should have at least one sensor on or right near the thermostat housing. The one for the computer will be a 2 wire sensor, the one for the gauge could be 1 wire or 2. Doesnt this truck have a clutch fan though? What year is the engine? Newer engines will have a ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) Sensor that tells the computer how hot it is which in turn will send power to a relay that powers the fan. On GM products that sensor is usually on or near the thermostat housing. Some models have 2, one for the computer and one for the gauge. Both can be tested with an ohmeter. You would need a manual to cross reference the resistance readings with temperature definitions
Where is the temperature sending unit on a 1998 Monte Carlo?
There are 2 and they are located on the intake manifold near the thermostat. The 1 with the single wire is for the gauge. The 2 wire is for the cooling fans and the computor. jd
Where is the heat sensor or thermo switch for a 92 tempo cooling fan?
This switch is the top one around the thermostat housing, If you look down beside the air filter, right beside the rad hose, on 2.3 l engine, there it is. You can unplug the wire and put a paper clip into the plug to ground out the 2 wires, fan will come on, if the fan does not come on, then look elsewhere for you problem. Check the plug near the fan.
